Thank you for the reviews. I am still waiting for my life to slow down, but it hasn't yet. My child has started competitive sports. CBS owns the characters.
Not finding Deeks in the waiting room, Hetty made her way towards the cafeteria. She needed to have a talk with him. If she was feeling shaken by Kensi's reaction, she could only imagine what Deeks was feeling and thinking. Usually she was so right in her actions, but this time she had goofed. This couldn't go on much longer. Kensi was getting physically better, but this emotional roller coaster was going to make her weaker. She needed to prepare Deeks for it.
Hetty wasn't surprised when she found Deeks bent over with his hands on his knees, as if he couldn't catch his breath. He must have his eyes closed if he didn't recognize her shoes. She put her hand on his back. He jerked up with a startled look. Looking into Hetty's eyes he showed a vulnerability rarely seen, before his defenses went up again. "Let us go get some coffee Mr. Deeks. I 'm sure you are in need of some reinforcements."
With his hands in his pockets, Deeks looked like a little school boy, " I guess the cafeteria's coffee is better than what Sam or G make." "I wouldn't know Mr. Deeks. I never touch that stuff."
Hetty found a seat in the back, where it was less crowded while Deeks get himself a coffee. Deeks right leg bounced nervously up and down and his hands shook slightly as he tried to pour the sugar and creamer into his coffee. I was amazing he couldn't even do a simple job like that.
Putting her hand on Deeks' arm, "Mr. Deeks I know you are troubled by Kensi's situation. This time we goofed but with time Kensi will forgive us and get on with her life."
As they talked some more, Deeks' leg calmed and his hands stopped shaking. He knew if he calmed Kensi down and she realized they did it with the best of intentions, then everything would be okay. Right!?
Hetty left Deeks contemplating her words. He didn't even realize she was gone. But regardless if she was there or not, he needed to eat crow and hopefully Kensi would forgive him right away.
As he slowely opened the door, "I'm so sorry Kensiā¦" Deeks stopped when he realized Kensi's bed was empty. "Hey, Kens, can you come out here?" Deeks called out to the bathroom. With still no answer, Deeks knocked on the bathroom door. "Kens, would you please talk to me? I know you are mad, but I need for you to talk to me." But his sonly answer was silence. Cautiously he opened the door, but it was as empty as the rest of the room.
Just when he needed to ask someone where Kensi was it seemed all of the nurses were busy. Finally, he caught a nurse rushing by, "Excuse me, could you please tell me where Kinsi is?" "I'm sorry, who?" "The tall brunette down the hall, crap, I can't remember her room number." "Oh, she went for some tests. She will be back in a few hours. You can either wait in her room or come back later." Deeks chose to go back to Ops.
He hadn't been back there since Kensi had been found sick. The guys welcomed him back with a nod. "Hi guys, I only have an hour. Do you want to do something to welcome Kensi back? I can see you smiling. Why are you smiling? You think because we have a thing?" "Just leave it with us. G and I will think of something to help Kensi feel better"
Deeks worked on some paperwork but had problems concentrating. He gave up in exasperation. "That was an exercise in futility." "Deeks, do you want to go to the gym?" After throwing the ball around for an hour, Deeks was physically exhausted but emotionally ready to face Kensi. "Ew, I stink. I better shower before Kensi kicks me out of her room."
Deeks confidently entered Kensi's room with a lighter step and readiness to grovel. But the room was empty like before. Rushing over to the nurses' station, Deeks was so thankful there were nurses around. "Can you please tell me when Kensi will back from her tests?" "What do you mean? Kensi is supposed to be in her room. She never had any tests?" "But her room is empty." "I'm sorry for the confusion. I'll ask around." Deeks couldn't believe they were acting like nothing was wrong.
